Handicapping The NFL In 2024 & Austin Ekeler Sleeper Status

Who's winning the NFL's passing yards title in 2024? Who'll lead the league in rushing TDs? Which team has the best odds to make or miss the playoffs? Today we're hunting over/under season win totals we like, talking about teams we think the market is most undervaluing, and digging overall into handicapping the NFL in 2024. Plus some review of Austin Ekeler's game film and a discussion about whether he makes for an interesting sleeper in fantasy football drafts. Guest: Chris Raybon of The Action Network.
